PRISTINE and GEMMY rhodonite crystals are probably THE most desirable species from the famed Broken Hill deposit of Australia. This dark cherry-red, tabular beauty is beautifully perched on a fragment of galena. Knowing the specific Broken Hill mine is not that common, so there is an added bonus. EXCELLENT material from the Ernie Schlichter Collection.
